The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. ~Proverbs 9:10

But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
(Luke 23:28)


And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
(Luke 23:32-34)


And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
(Luke 23:39-43)


* The first thief spoke despitefully to Jesus and said, "If" (unbelief) thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

The second thief pointed out the error of the first and said:
1. Do you not fear God? (Do you not know you are speaking carelessly to the Son of Almighty God?)

2. And you are suffering the same condemnation as He is suffering here beside you?

3. We are getting what we deserve here on the crosses, because we have done wrong.

4. But He has done no wrong, and hangs here suffering without deserving it.

5. Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.

Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

He's my LORD
There is no other One
Who can calm the storms of life
Like my LORD
He'll give rest to the weary
He gives life to the hopeless
There's no doubt about it
He's my LORD.
